In Universal Soldier, Jean Claude Van Damme has just recently been regenerated and is at a diner. He's hungry, and the heroine of the film orders him some food. He eats and eats, and because it's a JCVD movie, some people in the diner don't take to kindly to him, so they decide they'd rather kick his a**. However, JCVD, between bites of food, manhandles the angry patrons with effective kicks and punches. He pleads with the mob, says, "I just want to eat." They don't listen, so that's why they end up on the ground with broken bones.

In 1977, this is the place where my mother had her first hamburger. She never ate meat in her life prior or since. She was pregnant with my older brother and forced my father to pull over at this joint and get her a hamburger. It's a story I've been told millions of times. Good to know it still exists.

L'Express has one of the best fries I ever had, and the mayo sauce they serve is out of this world.

Kithchen Galerie has two amazing things about it: 1) The chefs/waiters/sommeliers. The small team does everything and are very friendly and helpful. They really make sure you enjoy your time there. 2) Using local ingredients from teh nearby market. That way, the menu changes daily and you get the freshest ingredients.

I'd start with L'Express as my first restaurant I go to in Montreal for a nice lunch. Then for dinner, head to Kitchen Galerie.

Kitchen Gallery by the main Market. It's run by 2 chefs who do all the cooking, waiting, etc. The menu changes daily, based on what they find at the market. Also, I highly reccomend Pinxto, probably one of the best tapas restaurants I have ever been to. Anywhere. Boris Bistro near Old Towne has a great al fresco dining area. Best fries were had at L'Express, a classic French bistro.

Who would have thought that the Michael C. from his Food Network show was the same person shown on Top Chef. By watching his Food Network show, I thought he'd be the nicest guy around.

Also, the moment when Kelly asked teh chefs to eliminate one chef from their team was stupid. They did it to cause drama, but then they didn't show anyone's reactions from being cut! WTH??? There was no drama!

I do want to make a trip to Chitown now just to go to Rick's restuarants.

I went to Lisbon last year and had the best chicken @ BonJardim restaurant. It's roasted on a spit fire, and its served with a hot chilli oil called piri-piri. Amazing. The chicken was so juicy, the skin was very crispy, and to have it with a cold glass of Super Bock beer, nothing in this world is better.

I am Indian, so my first encounter with Indian food was from the day I was born.

It's funny though, I used to hate paneer and anything with eggplant, but now I love any kind of paneer dish and love stuffed eggplant with potatoes, indian style. For the past few years, I've been getting into Gujrati cuisine as well, due to my sister-in-law's parents. There's some great sweet/spicy flavors in that region of India.

Yeah, the lady who won season 3 of TNFNS dissappeared into oblivion. I saw one episode and then nothing. Did she quit? Did the network realize she wasn't that good? I see that they are trying to have Aaron McCargo more in focus and in more shows, but I could see him fading too.

If FN produced more shows of Good Eats, Barefoot, and Everyday Italian, we'd be in a better place. Though Throwdown is a fun show.
